Based on the works of the great master Diego Velázquez, and hand-drawn to look like some of the very earliest styles of playing cards, ‘Medieval’ are the latest deck to come to you from Elephant Playing Cards, along with Egor Klyuchnyk of Anomaly World Studio fame. Previous EPC successes were the amazing Prism: Night, Pipmen, and Pipmen Shadow Edition decks, while AWS are famous for their ‘Demon’ and ‘Strange Head Society’ decks.

As Kickstarter becomes a more and more popular – and exciting – way for designers, cardists, magicians and card players to get their new decks out into the public arena, so too has it brought about a few problems for both project creators and backers outside of the US. Mainly the issues of distribution, and Customs Charges.

Euchre Playing Cards for the Blind and Visually Impaired
So far, almost all of my reviews have been on playing cards that I find visually stunning. I’ve commented on how I love the fact that playing cards in recent years have come a long way from the bog-standard court and pip cards, so that now-a-days even the 6 of Hearts is a work of art all by itself.

Anyone who has read some of my social media posts will already know of my obsession with Kickstarter. I love it. I’ve described it as ‘an online Dragon’s Den’ but I was wrong – it’s waaay better than that. Why?

Yes, they get something out of it, but there is no further obligation from the creator to provide profits, bonuses or a share in the business. Continue reading

Dupuis is a Canadian illustrator/photographer. As a result of this, his work often starts it’s life as photographs which have then been manipulated/distorted/painted over to create the finished pieces. His playing card wall art is naturally of particular interest to me, and here I will highlight my favourites.

by This type of art consistently reminds me of Americana-style Thanksgivings, Halloweens and Christmases. Which is no wonder, as Dan lives and has his studio on a farm in Burlington, Wisconsin, USA. I always find his art to be very homely and warming. It makes me smile. You’ve probably seen a lot of his work in kitchen shops, or gardening centres. Continue reading
